2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries

2.5.1 Livestock

Suggested contingency measures

Before the event During the event After the event

Heat & Cold

wave

In villages which are chronically prone to

heat waves the following permanent

measures are suggested

i) Plantation of trees like Neem,

Pipal, Subabul around the shed

ii) Spreading of husk/straw/coconut

leaves on the roof of the shed

iii) Water sprinklers / foggers in the

animal shed

iv) Application of white reflector paint

on the roof to reduce thermal

radiation effect

Cold wave : Covering all the wire meshed

walls / open area with gunny bags/

polyethylene sheets with a mechanism for

lifting during the day time and closing

Allow the animals preferably early in the

morning or late in the evening for grazing

during heat waves

Allow for grazing between 10AM to 3PM

during cold waves

Feed green fodder/silage / concentrates during

day time and roughages / hay during night time

in case of heat waves

Add 25-50 ml of edible oil in concentrates per

kg and fed to the animal during cold waves

Apply / sprinkle lime powder (5-10g per square

feet) in the animal shed during cold waves to

neutralize ammonia accumulation

Put on the foggers / sprinklers during heat

weaves and heaters during cold waves in case of

Green and concentrates supplementation

should be provided to all the animals.

Allow the animals for grazing (normal

timings)

Bleach (0.1%) drinking water / water

sources

Provide clean drinking water

19

during night high productive animals

In severe cases, vitamin ‘C’ (5-10ml per litre)

and electrolytes (Electral powder @ 20g per

litre) should be added in water during severe

heat waves and provision of wholesome clean

drinking water at least 3 times in a day

Insurance Insurance policy for loss of production due

to heat wave or cold wave may be developed

Encouraging insurance of livestock

Listing out the details of the dead animals and

loss of production in high yielders

Submission for insurance claim and

availing insurance benefit

Purchase of new productive animals

2.5.2 Poultry


Before the eventa During the event After the event

Heat wave

Shelter/environment

management

Provision of proper shelter with good

ventilation

In severe cases, foggers/water sprinklers/wetting

of hanged gunny bags should be arranged

Don’t allow for scavenging during mid day

Routine practices are followed

Health and disease

management

Deworming and vaccination against

RD and fowl pox

Supplementation of house hold grain

Provide cool and clean drinking water with

electrolytes and vit. C (5-10 ml per litre)

In hot summer, add anti-stress probiotics in

drinking water or feed (Reestobal etc., 10-20ml

per litre)


Cold wave

20

Shelter/environment

management

Provision of proper shelter

Arrangement for brooding

Assure supply of continuous electricity

Close all openings with polythene sheets

In severe cases, arrange heaters

Don’t allow for scavenging during early

morning and late evening


Health and disease

management

Arrangement for protection from

chilled air

Supplementation of grains

Antibiotics (Ampicilline/ Ampiclox etc., 10g in

one litre) in drinking water to protect birds

from pneumonia
